Active crustal deformation in the Tian Shan region, central Asia

Tectonophysics, 2021
The Tian Shan mountain ranges in central Asia are one of the largest and most active intracontinental orogenic belts in the world. Its Cenozoic reactivation and deformation manifest the far-field impact of the Indian-Eurasian continental collision.

High‐Resolution 3‐D Shear Wave Velocity Model of the Tibetan Plateau: Implications for Crustal Deformation and Porphyry Cu Deposit Formation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
The high topography of the Tibetan Plateau was generated by the Cenozoic India‐Eurasia collision. A high‐resolution shear wave velocity model can provide improved understanding of the Tibetan structure and crustal deformation with complicated tectonic ...

Crustal deformation analysis across Garhwal Himalaya: Part of western Himalaya using GPS observations

, 2020
Past earthquakes in the Himalayas are mainly due to tectonic activities along the thrust faults parallel to the Himalayan belt. In order to study the ongoing tectonic process, crustal deformation at selected transect in a part of western Himalayas as ...

Seismic evidence for the crustal deformation and kinematic evolution of the Nansha Block, South China Sea

, 2020
To understand the crustal deformation of the Nansha Block (NB), this study presents an interpretation of a recently acquired multichannel seismic profile that traverses the Southwest Subbasin (SWSB), the NB, and the Nansha Trough (NT).

Active crustal deformation in southeastern Tibetan Plateau: The kinematics and dynamics

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2019
Crustal deformation in southeastern Tibetan Plateau has been attributed to tectonic extrusion and gravitational spreading. Here we analyzed the present-day strain partitioning in this region using GPS data.

Crustal deformation

Reviews of Geophysics, 1995
Geodetic measurements of crustal deformation provide direct tests of geophysical models which are used to describe the dynamics of the Earth. Although geodetic observations have been made throughout history, only in the last several hundred years have they been sufficiently precise for geophysical studies. In the 19th century, these techniques included

Migration of crustal deformation

Tectonophysics, 1979
Abstract Observations on the migration rates of crustal deformation, as recently discovered in several tectonic areas, such as the south Kanto and central Tohoku districts, Japan and the West Cordillera Mts., Peru, has opened up a new opportunity for the study of crustal dynamics.

Spatially varying surface seasonal oscillations and 3-D crustal deformation of the Tibetan Plateau derived from GPS and GRACE data

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018
Measurements of 189 continuous and 933 campaign-mode Global Positioning System (GPS) stations with 3–16 yr data spans over the Tibetan Plateau reveal contemporary three-dimensional (3-D) crustal deformation during 1999–2016.

Models of crustal deformation

Reviews of Geophysics, 1983
This review is principally concerned with theoretical models of crustal deformation developed during this quadrennium. Observational data, as well as topics in lithospheric flexure and isostasy, are covered in companion reviews in this volume. Progress has been made toward constructing both new inelastic, and inhomogeneous elastic, models of earthquake‐
